DATA FEED RATES (DFR) CHART
|
|
End Mills
|
|
(BALL NOSE)
|
HOW TO USE THIS CHART:
- Application Example:
- Peripheral milling plain carbon steel (1020) with a 2-flute 1/4 dia. E3302
uncoated end mill; radial depth of cut .25 x Ø, axial depth of cut 1.5 x Ø.
|
- To Find Cutting Feed Rate (FT)
- Select the appropriate SFM from the Operating Guides above.
- Reference closest dia. for the cutting application
- Select the corresponding type of cut
and # of flutes of the cutter
- Select the corresponding Ft range
- To calculate RPM: SFM/D x 3.82 (225/.25 x 3.82)
- To calculate IPM: IPR x RPM (.0060 x 344)
-
(.0023 x 2 x 3438)
